Good morning, dear friends.  This post is going to be brief today.  We want to feature our doggie friend in Virgin Islands.  MerriBugg is her name and she lost her mommy person suddenly and now she needs to find a new home where she can be loved and pampered forever.  

The following is the posting that has been put on Facebook by the St. Croix Animal Welfare Centre.  MerriBugg is there and being cared for until a new home is found for her.  Let's hope that is sooner than later.

St. Croix Animal Welfare Centre posted the following ...  

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and it’s certainly true about this gentle, sweet girl. Her name is Merri Bugg. Her owner passed away unexpectedly last week.
We all know how devastating it is to suddenly lose a loved one. Merri Bugg lost her whole world - the person who rescued her from the bush, who patiently taught her to trust humans and to accept love and kindness. Now she needs a new best friend - could it be you?
Merri Bugg is about 7 years old. She is calm and quiet, good with cats, housebroken, and leash-trained. Please open your heart to this sweet soul. To meet Merri Bugg, come to the Animal Welfare Center’s main location at 5 Corners.

As a dear friend said in comments:  My heart goes out to her. Such a very loyal girl. She deserves a wonderful home.

So, let's hope between Facebook postings and other exposure this new home with a loving family can be found very soon for this dear sweet girl. 

Best of Luck sweet MerriBugg.

Dear friends.  
We have created a new video slide show that we hope you will enjoy.  Grammy suggested this would be quicker than making her think through and write a proper blog.  Boy was she wrong.  It has taken us all day... and we mean ALL DAY to put this together. 

It includes us, of course, our family, our in-laws and our friends local and far away.    Check it out, you may find yourselves in there. And if we've missed you, please forgive us.  We tried to include everyone whose photos we had in our albums.

We hope you will enjoy it. 

And if you haven't already done so, go to BIOS to read about our foster/adoption stories and to various categories for us and for our friends - Categories like All About Us,  Family, Other Kitties and Fur Friends and Photos, Videos & Slideshows.

So here is the link for our latest YouTube video.... Facebook Friends and Family 

Dear friends, we love you and look forward to your comments.

​Is this a misnomer?  Today is Labour Day and yet, we don't know anyone who works on a statutory holiday … so shouldn't it by called non-Labour Day or just Rest Day?   But then, here am I working hard at writing this blog so for me it is definitely a labour day.  *Sigh* 

If I have to write we might as well move to more fun topics. How about we feature a few of our friends?  You know all of us as we posted photos last week, maybe more pictures than you'd want to look at... but hey, we are so adorable, fun and goofy that how could you not want to see photos of us?

So, here we go... a few furry friends met through Grammy's close friends, then many on Facebook and the infinite fun things we all have gotten up to over the years.  

​First off, there is a pair of beauties ... Murphy and Bella, the fluffy sweethearts of Grammy's oldest living friend.... not that she's the oldest but that they've been friends the longest.  These two fluffballs are well-travelled between home and cottage as well as totally pampered. Grammy calls Murphy 'the Murph'.  Silly Grammy! 

Then there is Sadie, the sweetiepuss of Grammy's friend from church.  She lives the good life too. Her only beef is that Grammy trims her claws when she comes to visit. What gives her the right to steal claw-tips?  We agree with her.  Grammy does the same to us... then tosses them in the garbage.  That's not very nice.  If she wants our claw-tips then she should cherish them.  Save them in a jar and put them on a shelf to admire.  She's so weird and disrespectful. I wrote a poem about Sadie and this terrible deed.

As we move into our internet friends, let's mention Nerissa's Life.  Our first blogging friend was Nerissa, aka Nissy.  He was the famous blogger who encouraged us to join the blogging community.  We finally took his advice and wrote our first blog back in October 2014.

As some of you will remember Nissy has passed the baton across to the equally famous ginger, Seville.  This fellow has had a city in Spain and an orange named after him.  I tell you... that's awesome!  You have to check out his blogs. Be prepared for him to take pot shots at his biped family (Peep#1 and Peep#2) especially #1.  Wow, he's tough on her... but so funny. Follow him on Facebook too.  You won't be sorry. 

Then there is our closest group of friends... those with whom we chat daily.  We have had and will continue to enjoy joint adventures with four of these families.  First of these that Sweetie met was Little Boy Cat, a Chef of extraordinary abilities and creativity.   She encouraged him to meet her big sister with whom he fell madly in love.  Soon after Gentle Mousie came out of her shell and blossomed. Amazing adventures ensued ... the first of which was an awesome 3rd birthday party for Sweetie followed shortly thereafter by dates, Cheffy and Mousie together.  Nervous mom, Whiskers chaperoned at first, protective or her wee gentle girl.  The best part of their dates was when Etude & I would sneakily follow them and create havoc.  Those times were delicious fun.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, friends.   There are so many other friends we've met. Far too many to list but we'll mention a few, no photos, but we love them dearly  for their mischief and unique ways to entertain us. 

There are our friends, Team Ginger, whose mom drives us to the vet, Aunty J and another team - Sugar and Gordito, Piper's Pusscats, Pixie Pie and the Speed furries, The Koz Clan Adorapurr including Dora and her family, Clan of Nine, Da Fluffarooniez, Edward Scissorpaws and his family, Lord Fluffington, Bunny Love - Panda Bear and Honey Blossom, Sassy Skye and Cheeky Charlie et al, Keebo, the awesome Mini Kitty, Daisy from Ocean's page, Pumpkin who has since passed on, Toby Murphy O'Toole, and so many more.  

We apologize for any we've missed that you feel should be included.  Remember, we are dealing with a Grammy who at the best of times lacks in brainpower and what little she has has trickled down the drain as the day and blog progressed.   Enjoy!

Comments are most welcome.... we especially love the funny, mischievous and cheeky comments.
